Rumen (Cyr. Ðóìåí) is a relatively frequent Bulgarian given name.
It means "ruddy" as opposite to "pale". Ruddy people seemed more healthy than pale people, so babies were called Rumen wishing health.
Feminine form: Rumena (Ðóìÿíà, Ðóìåíà).

Rumen has at least two different origins. One is Breton where it comes from one of the places bearing that name in Brittany as you can see at http://tinyurl.com/562px9. Another certainly appears to be one or more Slavic languages where it could very well be a variant of Roman (cf. Ruman and Rumin in Polish).
